oil residue sa radiator cap--delikado na yan....

[utakabo]

Quick tire question guys. Ok lang kaya kung salpakan ko ng 205/65R15 tires yung 03 Sedona ko? May gulong kasi ako dito di ko sure kung pwede ko syang gamitin since 215/70R15 ang stock ng Sedona.

If ever what would be the cons of this? Sayang kasi kung di ko naman magagamit yung tires.

Thanks!

if you are going to replace all stock tires with the ones you mentioned, one obvious difference will be the overall wheel size. if my calculations are correct, your car will sit about 3/4 of an inch lower than if it has the stock tires (which means more scrapes on the underside). this would also mean that for every tire revolution, your car will be traveling about 3% shorter (for every 100 km registered in your odometer, the car has actually traveled around 97 km). Your car will also be running 3% slower than what is registered in the speedo

As alwayz_yummy said, this might be a cause for immediate concern. Best have it checked by a mechanic to be on the safe side.

kenzie,

Hindi kaya maluwag lang yung battery contacts, kasi sabi mo hindi rin nag-work nung sinubukan nyo i-jumper? Dapat pag sapat yung power nung kabilang battery, aandar na yng makina using jumper cables.

I used to operate a car repair shop in the 80's, as I recall oil if mixing with water is often due to a leaking cylinder head gasket that allows the oil and water passages to leak into each other. This happens often due to repeated overheating. If true, then check also if your oil was whitish streaks, these are classic signs of water in small quantities mixing with oil. If you see this, have it checked asap bec water in oil will reduce lubrication and threaten to damage internal engine parts. I hope and done mean to alarm you, ok? Better safe...

Mikey177,

ok lahat yung contacts boss malinis saka masikip pareho, sabi nung tumulong sa amin dun last sunday night baka malaki daw masyado yung battery ng carnival kaya hindi kumarga. pero ka ka try ko lang about a couple of minutes ago(7:47 am Tuesday) ayaw na naman mag start.

Alternator na po kaya prob? heating plug po kaya? i read somewhere online na fuel pump accumulates air?

any help is greatly appreciated po...thanks

kenzie,

Patingnan mo na lang sa mekaniko para makasiguro.

Depende kasi sa symptoms. Nung sa akin kasi, malakas ang battery pero ayaw mag-start ng van at kahit i-turn ko yung ignition, click lang ang naririnig ko --yung problema ko in this case was starter contacts. Nung napalitan yung contacts, okay na pag-start ko.

Ano ba yung symptoms ng hard starting sa iyo. Nagrerebolusyon ba yung starter motor pero ayaw mag-start? Mukha bang mahina na yung battery? May umiilaw ba na mga indicator sa dash mo?
